Going to my old folk's village in the north of the country for the annual summer festivities. Looking to relax, swim in rivers, in essence have a good time. I don't go out much, so I really need it...

My RPG sessions are currently in scheduling hell. 6 sessions across 3 different groups cancelled, reshuffled, and then cancelled again over the last two weeks.

Out of interest, 5e or 6e?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

6e but with some modifications.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Fair enough. Had one test 6e session, my players absolutely hated it. Mainly due to the weird new edge system and the fact that combat is a lot less lethal and swingy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah we reworked the edge and armour system.

If it's not too much of a hassle, mind sharing your house rules? Might give it a go with my players to see if that fixes our issues with the system

I would have to translate them first as they are in German.

Half my main shadowrun group are Germans, I could get them to help instead

My kid got a fishing pole from his uncle and has been absolutely dying to try it out again. Refuses to use live bait, though. Gonna see if we can get out on the river this weekend. He's only gonna be doing catch-and-release. He just really likes seeing fish up close.

......also I know nothing about fishing, so I'm gonna be researching fishing, I guess. Lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Try some powerbait or even cheap pepperoni sticks as bait. Fish go for smell. As a side note...best fish you will ever eat is cooked on a stick over an open fire as you fish.

media marathon, going to keep watching primal s1, whic is amazing so far, i have a bunch of movies lined up, and a beach break in between when I get restless. Plus ribs and mojitos.

Be subject to the whims of my teenage kiddo! Get our nails done. Do groceries. Make fancy food for Shadow of the Demon Lord on Sunday. Play SotDL.

Extra sleep and going to be proactive this week and do some meal prep.

Have a deadline for a university paper on Sunday. I'm planning to finish it tonight (it's 8 PM here) but not sure that's gonna fly.

Watching Premier League soccer while repairing a fiberglass hatch for my sailboat.

Finish Crysis 2 and start Crysis 3.

same thing I do every weekend. desperately try to get needed things done but at my own pace so its not quite as bad as weekday work.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Party for 3 days straight (Thursday was a public holiday so I already started)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Every Saturday I've been going to my local game store and playing various card and/or board games.

A lot of the time we play Magic the Gathering. Sometimes we play Dungeons and Dragons.

But I also have a whole backpack of a bunch of other games I bring for variety sake.

Just recently I finally got my physical copy of "Fools Blade". It's a new card game where players collect sword parts and craft their own swords to go adventuring (both PvE and PvP). I'm super stoked to play it.

Just church and work. My knee hurts so damn much I had to finally break down and wear my brace.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I'm working today, just getting some OT. Then I plan on grabbing some stuff I need for a laptop and maybe to talk to a tattoo artist about an idea I have. I'm gonna see if a friend wants to do a hike tomorrow, if not, I'm unsure what Sunday will be.

Hamburger for lunch.
